4FEATURESPREFACEThe Panasonic System 850 is a large-scale Matrix SwitcherSystem allowing control of up to 8 192 video inputs, 1 024video outputs and 128 system controllers. It consists ofMain CPUs, Card Cages, Functional Boards, SystemControllers, Administration Console and other components.The communication standard used is 10Base-T Ethernet,which ensures system reliability and quick operationresponse.The System 850 is the ideal solution for applications requir-ing wide area coverage, reliability and system flexibility,such as hotels, transportation facilities, stadiums, buildingsand so on.The System 850 offers many features, the key feature beingits scale. It can support configurations of up to 8 192 videoinputs, 1 024 video outputs and 128 Ethernet system con-trollers. Moreover, its flexible, scalable and high-densitymodular system architecture allows for easy expansion.The System 850 is controlled and programmed via anEthernet or RS-485 port by standard, enhanced or high-speed CPUs. The standard CPU is designed for systemshaving up to 512 inputs and 64 outputs, and the enhancedCPU for systems having up to 1 024 inputs and 256 out-puts. The high-speed CPU allows expansion of the systemfrom 1 024 inputs and 256 outputs to a maximum of 8 192inputs and 1 024 outputs.All of the components within this system are controlled viaan Ethernet (10Base-T) network allowing operators to per-form the following operations.• Logging in and out• Switching camera video signals to monitors• Controlling camera functions such as pan, tilt, zoomand focus• Setting and calling camera preset positions• Activating pre-programmed group presets, tour andgroup sequences• Acknowledging and resetting alarms
